My response to The Electronic Viking about Nanoflowcell EV Cars
I am a regular viewer of The Electronic Viking - a YouTube channel covering the growing Electric Vehicle industry. One of the latest videos was on Nanoflowcell's technology, something I have been covering for over half a decade, even though the Electronic Viking claims "almost no one has ever heard of (Nanoflowcell)."
My reaction herein.

Boiling thoughts on the Endless Objections to Legitimate Elections
At what point do Election Deniers get their comeuppance in the media, in the courts, and especially in public opinion? Some of the tribe of lawyers are already getting sanctioned, and some commentators say MAGA = Make Attorneys Get Attorneys.
Every single person who challenges the results of the 2020 election should read at LEAST the Wikipedia summary of the Bush V. Gore election: Bush v. Gore - Wikipedia

Speak Up For Assange celebrates its 3rd Anniversary by Speaking Up for Assange
Julian Assange continues to languish in torture-like conditions in Britain's notorious Belmarsh prison, pending appeals and despite having long past his sentence for trying to escape deportation to Sweden for charges that have long since been dropped. The alternative of extraditing him to America to face espionage charges is probably worse.Series: Freedom of the press (1 Articles, 1366 views)

Are Billions wasted by Billionaires?
The worship of billionaires needs to end. As a class, their production is questionable, while their rent-extraction is immense, perhaps only exceeded by their flame-outs.
Several examples are cited.

Ukraine and the Home Front Advantage
The Home Front Advantage is a frequently over-looked force multiplier, capable of making even small countries prevail against much larger, more powerful ones.

The Abortion of the United States
The state-by-state loss of birth choice effects much more than the individual right of when or if for a woman to have a child. The situation is fluid, brand new - though anyone who was paying attention to the supreme court arguments and the leaked Samuel Alito opinion last Spring should have seen this coming. The effects on the country will go far beyond the Right to Choose.

Lithuania escalates the risk of WWIII with transit blackade
This action by Lithuania, unforced by the EU or NATO, is a needless and highly dangerous escalation and the U.S. and president Biden should declare it an "incorrect application of the trade embargo and sanctions" and strongly encourage Lithuania and the EU to reconsider. NATO's alliance pact must not become a suicide pact.

Journalists Speak Up For Assange
t's beyond time that presidents from Obama to Trump to Biden finally dropped all charges and/or pardoned Assange for the crime of reporting news (yes, I know he's accused of conspiring to hack information, but even if one accepts the tenuous highly flawed argument that he actually did that, the man has suffered enough by now, and may be permanently crippled in mind and body.

To Stop Gun Violence, Form a Well-Regulated Militia
Here we are again. Another mass shooting, coming just a week after yet another mass shooting in Buffalo, New York targeting black people. This most recent one was targeting kids, 19 of them. A teacher got in the way and made the 20th fatality.
It's time to try something different, radically different.

Is it possible to still be Even Handed about the Russia-Ukraine War?
What will the world's response be to the Russia-Ukraine War? It's mostly against Russia right now, but is that the response that will prevent WWIII and is there sufficient attention being given to that possibility, made more likely almost daily now?

US/NATO Provoked Ukraine War Say Most Experts On Russia
Politicians and members of the media have nearly universally expressed shock and dismay at Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but their incredulity is belied by the fact that numerous Russia experts and historians have been predicting these events practically since the fall of the Berlin Wall, pointing out that a Russian response to ongoing NATO incursions was virtually inevitable.

Covid Compromises: A Chance to use the latest science to Save the Republic
It's time for Covid Compromises, to move to an understanding that the disease is endemic and away from mandates and toward rational solutions. Will this happen before democracy dies? Meanwhile, Trump-supporters are dying for their anti-vax cause, maybe enough to swing the next election.

Will 2024 be the election battle of the ages?
Hmm, do you think Sanders is separating himself from the corporatist Democrats for a 2024 presidential run?
I know, I know. Sanders will turn 83 September 8, 2024, just before election day.
Well, guess what? Biden turns 82 just a few days after the 2024 election, on November 20.
